INTERNATIONAL STUDENT’S GUIDE

ACADEMIC YEAR 2013/2014

The Public Institution “Nicolae Testemitanu” State University of Medicine and

Pharmacy of the Republic of Moldova welcomes you and wishes you a pleasant stay.

To provide you with a good, fast and hassle free integration, we have prepared this foreign

student’s guide, which includes information on the University, the city and the country. You can find information on the University on www.usmf.md , www.usmf.md

ABOUT MOLDOVA

Official website: http://www.moldova.md and http://www.travel.md Area: 33,700 km2/33843,5 km2(about 126 inhabitants per km2).

Population: 4, 3 million/3,6 million Capital: Chisinau Religion: Ortodox

Official language: Romanian. The majority of people speak Russian as well. The young generation speaks English, French, Italian.

Located in south-eastern Europe, The Republic of Moldova borders Romania on the west and Ukraine on the north, south and east. Most of its territory lies between two main rivers : Nistru/Dniester and Prut. The territorial and administrative structure of the Republic of Moldova

includes thirty-two districts; three municipalities (Balti, Chisinau, Bender); and two autonomous regions (Gagauzia and Transnistria). The final status of Transnistria is disputed, as the central

government does not control that territory. The cities of Comrat and Tiraspol, the administrative seats of the two autonomous territories also have municipality status. The culture of Moldova is a combination of Romanian culture and previous Soviet culture. The traditional Latin origins of

Romanian culture reach back to the 2nd century, the period of Roman colonization in Dacia. During the centuries following the Roman withdrawal in 271, the population of the region was

influenced by contact with the Byzantine Empire, neighboring Slavic, Magyar and other smaller populations, and later by the Ottoman Turks. Beginning in the nineteenth century, a strong West European (particularly French) influence came to be evident in Romanian literature and arts. The

resulting mélange has produced a rich cultural tradition. In 1812 as a result of the Russian-Turkish Peace Treaty signed in Bucharest, the eastern part of Moldova situated between the Prut

and Nistru/ Dniester rivers, named Bessarabia, was annexed to the Russian Empire, thus being a Russian province until 1918. In 1918 the supreme authority of the Bessarabian State – "Sfatul Țarii" , decided to unite with Romania. This unity lasted till 1940, the year when the country was

annexed by the Soviet Union as a consequence of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of 1939. Moldova functioned as a territorial entity within the USSR until the last decade of the XXth

century. Soviet authorities did everything they could to break the region’s cultural ties with Romania. Many ethnic intellectuals were killed after 1940, or were deported both during and after World War II. The country became more russified. After 1960s, Soviet authorities

developed urban cultural and scientific centers and institutions that were subsequently filled with Russians. On the 27th of August 1991, Republic of Moldova became an independent and

sovereign State.

should be given a ticket. Taxi services are widely spread in Chisinau. Usually the price for taxi trip is between 35 and

50 Leys. If you come from airport you should take into consideration that airport lies outside the

city and the price for taxi may be higher (about 100 Leys). Taxi is always cheaper if you phone to taxi-office than if you just snag a taxi on the street.

There are some jams in rush hours. In Chisinau nowadays it doesn’t take more than 15-20 minutes to stay in jam. If you decided that personal car is the best variant for you and you have no possibility to come by car to the city you may use car rental service. There are several

companies in Chisinau which offer such services.
